i know because i've curated my feed quite well that i may be preaching to the choir, but i hope in your rush to condemn the decline of femmes in the games journalism space you also take a moment to uplift the work of the femmes still here.

Me: Superman implies the existence of Supraman Me: Congrats on reinventing Bizarro from first principles, Otto Binder Me: Didn’t Alvin Schwartz create Backwards Bizarro? Me: Well accounts differ on that. Comics vs daily strip, hard to say Me: I know. I’m you Me: What are we talking about again

I haven’t made it to Autumnlands yet. It’s on my list. #ngl

I know you’re a fan of Astro City, but have you read Autumnlands? If so, what do you think of it?

I think that’s a misread of The Joker’s deal. He values the craft of what he does too much. Canonically, the answer to this is Amanda Waller, who weaponized genAI to deepfake superhero footage in the Absolute Power event. #ngl

Which prominent DC character is most likely to go all-in on AI? (Is it the Joker? He seems like the type)

Awkwardly, most of the best Pre-Geoff Johns Sinestro stories are ones you will not find in print anymore because they were written by a convicted child predator. My next best recommendation would be Steve Englehart’s Green Lantern run…where Hal Jordan dates a child. Sinestro has a cursed history.

What are some good pre-Rebirth Sinestro stories?

Only Swan Boy guarantees every panel in a comic will be funny. Punchlines on the way to the punchline just in case you don't have the patience for a comic strip's worth of setup

Not much I’d recommend, really. He tends to be a villain who appears in shorter stories than long arcs. There’s Hush, and The War of Jokes and Riddles, but in terms of recommendations I’d say seek out the BATMAN ARKHAM: THE RIDDLER collection. #ngl

My housemate asked me if theres any standout riddler stories

All I could think of was Zero year and to ask you

Reading Mark Twain’s posthumously published novella “The Mysterious Stranger,” which according to Paul Levitz’s history of DC Comics was the inspiration for The Phantom Stranger. I’m now pretty sure Alan Moore read this too before writing his Phantom Stranger origin story.

Many games for the GameCube use only a fraction of the storage capacity of the disc. I have analyzed the data to determine what the maximum number of retail Mario games that can fit on a single disc would be, creating the Luigi & Wario + Puzzle + Rhythm Maximum Value Pack.

$A GameCube disc has a storage capacity of 1.46 gigabytes. Many Mario games use only a fraction of that storage. Below is the optimal distribution of the smallest Mario-related games on the system to fit 6 entire retail games on a single disc. Unused space 54 MB Luigi's Mansion 186 MB DDR Mario Mix 264 MB Wario World 257 MB Donkey Konga 2 312 MB Donkey Konga 250 MB Please note that this pie chart is for data visualization only. If the games were in fact put on one disc, the data would be arranged in rings, not in slices. Concept for post based on an idea from a comment by @vinchvolt.bsky.social$

One possible explanation for the reason the design for the Guardians of the Universe was changed in LANTERNS (2026) is that according to Paul Levitz’s history of DC Comics, the original Guardians were all based on David Ben-Gurion

Like the vast majority of comic book characters, nearly every Green Lantern has been portrayed over time as ambidextrous. Their dominant hand tends to be whichever fits better for panel composition. #ngl

Are there any left-handed Green Lanterns or Lanterns in general?

If you don’t know who Batman is, watch Batman: The Animated Series. You will have the context for any Batman comic you want to read from there. #ngl

What would you say are some good reccomended reading for Batman comics to introduce someone to the character?

Only the Looney Tunes Show 2011 incarnation of Bugs, for whom the costume changes are implicitly about gender expression and not just fucking with somebody trying to kill him

Based on the various DC incarnations of the location, would Bugs Bunny be allowed on Paradise Island?

When the Star Sapphires appear, with the exception of Carol Ferris of late, it’s usually in a negative context. Their central empowering entity is named “The Predator.” They don’t even have a handle on ROMANTIC love, let alone others. #ngl

As far as I've seen, Star Sapphire's unique powers tend to use/rely on romantic connections. Has there ever been an aromantic Star Sapphire? Because I think there's a lot of potential to explore other types of love.

It’s a well-curated collection; you really can’t go wrong. For now, I’d recommend The Origin of Plastic Man. But make sure to pick up Batgirl: Silent Knight in January. #ngl
